NOTES [49 words]: Oliver Ditson & Co, The New Comic Songster, 1870 (indexed as New-Comic-Songster; p. 28), has a piece "Of Course It's No Business of Mine," which is very similar in its idea, but since they seem to have no actual words in common except the "No Business of Mine" line, I have not listed it here. - RBW
